NSW Rd 12 Team

[diedpretty]

Wests Tigers have named their NSW Cup team to take on the top-of-the-table Wentworthville Magpies for their Round 12 clash at Campbelltown Sports Stadium.

Kickoff for the match is scheduled for 3:00pm on Saturday, May 31.

Having posted back-to-back victories over the Cronulla Sharks and Newcastle Knights, Wests Tigers have been buoyed by the arrival of class players such as Curtis Sironen, Manaia Cherrington and Mitchell Moses over the past few weeks, and will again welcome back another key name this weekend with the inclusion of Dene Halatau.

The utility forward has not played for Wests Tigers in 2014 since suffering an ankle injury in the Club' trial win over Penrith Panthers in February, and his return on the bench for this weekend's clash is a huge boost for the home team.

Both Moses and Sironen will again feature in the NSW Cup squad, while Marika Koroibete will look to extend his try-scoring streak to four consecutive games this weekend.

Check out the confirmed Round 12 team below.

Interesting selection of Akoula at centre - is this to put a rocket up Lawrence or to free up Simona for a move to fullback- or a there just too many damn backrowers.

welcome back halatau!

im excited about him coming back to first grade eventually.

Good looking side, hopefully they'll continue on their winning ways. I reckon Sitaleki will be throwing a few offloads out in the centres.

 

[bp_tiger]

where's Paterson and lulia I hope Lulia us not been kept for 1st grade.

Santi and Lovette over Ino! LMFAO What a joke!!

Santi and Lovette over Ino! LMFAO What a joke!!

i've wondered what happened to him. after every u20s game last year and the year before- payten would have ino marked as future nrl star. he got the coach's and players' award heaps of times as well.

how has he performed in state cup this year?

 

[Lakra]

is it possible to watch the game from home somehow?

Good to see Halatau back. Is this his first game back?

Like he did when he was playing 20s. Big hitter and one of the better defenders in the club, and a handful with the ball. But i think Potter is worried about his height?! ( 175cm ) Yet, most established 1st graders who have come up against him last year and this year have begged to differ. Maybe he needs to go to another club so he can play 1st grade! :wtf

Potter might be planning to move Simona to fullback & Akoula center next week?

Im not expecting any surprises. Akuola just moved out to make way for siro and halatau in forwards methinks. Im expecting teddy will be back like it or not. Potter has a job to win games and will field our best team.

Yes it is.

Akauola lacks the speed to play centre, laterally he is not the best defender.

 

[mremedy]

If Tedesco is playing against the Knights, why isn't Rowe playing fullback this week? Is it just to give him a week off?

I love Ino. He is a gun. the sort of forward some club like Manly would pick up for a bargain and turn into something special.

In the games I have seen, Inno has had great impact off the bench when he comes on. He has his quiet games like every player, but Santi has earned his starting spot since he came back to the club. Again he was outstanding last week against Newcastle.

As for watching the game from home, you can't watch it. However, you can list, 2GLF will be there to call the game. If you can't get 89.3 FM on your radio you can live stream their call at http://893fm.com.au

If you can make it to Campbelltown for the game, remember your membership pass will grant you free entry.

Outstanding in what way? Inno ran for more meters, tackle busts and offloads lol including a try assist when he recieved the inside pass from Marika, had the presense of mind to palm off Hilder and offload it back to Marika. And not to mention his bone crunching defence?? Was one of the standouts against Fui and the eels in a trial erlier in the year when Santi was playing for the Eels lol. I remember in the 20's when we took it out, Santi was starting lock every game until the finals and then Payton opted for Inno as starting lock during their finals campaign!! But that'sjust my opinion lol

 

[everett]

I noticed Jy Hitchcox has played a numebr of positions at State Cup and I have read has some pace.

Is he a player who could be considered for NRL?

Love to hear the Forum thoughts.

 

[Joshu]

Jy is a consistant performer with great speed and accelleration that has covered fullback, wing, centre and hooker. IMO i think his height is restricting him from playing 1st grade in the backs but could really make a go for it at hooker! This year Fletcher has started using him at hooker in the second half when they need a roll on out of their own half and it's working well for the team. His speed out of dummy half and his ability to beat, draw and create overlaps is a real standout so far and a ploy Fletcher has been using with great results.
